Nim Shapira - TORN – The Israel-Palestine Poster War on NYC Streets

Description

“Timely, powerful, and thought-provoking documentary” (Forbes) After the kidnapping of 251 people from Israel on the 7th of October by Hamas, another conflict erupted thousands of kilometers away – on the walls of New York. The film tells of the consequences of the iconic “KIDNAPPED” poster campaign, which quickly became the trigger for intense confrontations between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian New Yorkers. TORN sheds light on the motives behind the posting and tearing down of the posters – a proxy conflict in stickers and torn paper.
